Six days and counting: The HHS Mandate gets its time in court « Hot Air

Six days and counting: The HHS Mandate gets its time in court « Hot Air: "Supporters of the mandate like to claim, of course, that the mandate itself gives women freedom, and thus opposing it denies freedom. This ignores how the discussion is not about women negotiating over coverage with employers, but is instead about a government requirement for private organizations and individual citizens to insure what they morally oppose. Others like to claim there is no abortion drug coverage in the mandate, but American Thinker Deputy Editor and Live Action Communications Director Drew Belsky and I nailed that to the wall in a recent fact-check, pointing out that at least one form of “contraception” covered by the mandate — intrauterine devices — unquestionably causes an abortion."
